I just resent you the email, to your gmail address.

Posted by Monolith (Member # 2034) on :

I'm still in for this weekend. Albeit on Sunday.

I'm going to expand and rewrite my flash I completed last weekend.

I think the title will change, but you never know.

Once again, thanks for inviting me Mike.

good having you, Monolith.

Notebored has a 'Polish Challenge', soft 'o', polish as in 'clean up'. You should take that story to Notebored and submit it in their challenge.

Posted by mikemunsil (Member # 2109) on :

Ah, heck.

Since I had some free time I went and took the challenge early. I wrote something totally different and in a genre I haven't written before, and I'm DYING to see if it worked.

But now I have to wait until Monday before anyone else sees it.

Darn.

franc li. I'm shutting it down for the night. Go ahead and get registered and I'll authorize it in the morning. See the other emails I sent.

I can't even manage to find 90 minutes to flash :'(
Someday, when the semester is over...

Posted by franc li (Member # 3850) on :

Oh, sorry I didn't get back to you there. I'll see if I can kick the boys off the computer that actually accesses gmail at our house.

Posted by mikemunsil (Member # 2109) on :

Challenge #37 stories are up for reading, commenting and voting.

Posted by mikemunsil (Member # 2109) on :

The trigger was pulled... and you fired your bullets. Some were right on target, and some were blanks. But you all tried.

However, some of the people reading, commenting and voting never saw the trigger. So, once the writing period is over, we post the trigger for their titillation (love that word).

Here it is.

-----

OK, here's the trigger; it's an extract
from Shriekback's lyrics for "Faded
Flowers".

TRIGGER BEGINS

Use any one or more couplets from the
following as the trigger for your story.

"These faded flowers
Precious as memory

A veil of cloud
Corrupt as energy

We had some good machines
But they don't work no more

I loved you once
Don't love you anymore"

TRIGGER ENDS

franc li, check your email. you're in.

Posted by Monolith (Member # 2034) on :

I finished mine yesterday, but now that the crits are flowing in, I'm getting the feeling that I won the worst this week.

Posted by mikemunsil (Member # 2109) on :

nope, i did

Posted by franc li (Member # 3850) on :

I'm in

But instead of a flash challenge, it is a peri-solstice fortnight. Thing.

Posted by mikemunsil (Member # 2109) on :

so well put, franc li! i look forward to critting your entries.

Posted by franc li (Member # 3850) on :

Darn, I missed it.
